Not beng satisfied that the law
protecting game really protects, the
Michigan sportsmon were instrument
tai in having a bill introduced for
the appointment of state game and
fish warden. Lansing sportsmen la
bored SO hcroically for the measure
that it passed the house le'ore the
recess. and they will keep mp an en-
ergetic effort till their work is fully
accomplished. The bill is weeping
in its character. Itauthorizes the ap-
pointmcnt of a warden at a salary OF
$1,000 a year, with three deputies in
each county, and equips thcm with
the most arbitrary powers. They are
empowered 20 arrest yioiajorS OF the
game and FISH laws without warrant
and i'm addition to the authority of
sheriff are also armed with the pow
ers of prosecuting attorneys. The

Pigeon-shooting Contests Between the
Clubs for a Trophy and a banquet.

Pigeon-Shooting Contests Between the
| Clubs for Trophy and a Banquet.
Committees from the Forester and. Pa
cihc Gun Clubs met Thursday evening, to
consult upon the proposition to have a
series of pigeon shoots during the coming
season between the two clubs. It was
agreed that there should be friendly con-
test of five shoots, the first to be in May,
| the second in June, the third in July, the
| fourth in August, end the fifth in October.
Each club is to shoot not less than fifteen
men, and in the event that either club at
any of the contests should have less than
fifteen men. then the Captain of the oppos-
ing club is to select the member or men,
bers of the club that is deficient, who will
shoot two scores each, to bring the team
up TO the requisite number; provided
that if either club should have less
than twelve men on the ground at any
one OF the matches, then the shoot must be
declared off for that day. The prize is to
be trophy, in the form of a medal, to be
purchased by the clubs Jointly, the same to
be awarded to the club winning a majority
of the shoots during the season. The losing
club will also pay for banquet, 10 which
all the members of both clubs will be in
vited. Under no circumstances will a
member Of either club be allowed to bet
upon the shooting in any manner, the
penalty being heavy fine, and. if deemed
advisable, expulsion. Everything will be
done to promote friendly feeling between
the members of the organizations, and to
enhance the pleasure OF the meetings. The
shooting will be from ground traps, each
man shooting at twelve birds. Both clubs
will have a shoot before the series COM
mences, to get used to the traps, as plunge
traps have done service in Sacramento here

A rsn-Csnt Tar.

In 1873 the Legislature of this State
passed an Act the first section Of which
provides that the Secretary of each corpora
ton in this State shall collect from each
person receiving a certificate of stock in
such corporation fee of 10 cents for issu-
ing the same. Under the provision of this
section such Secretaries are constituted
agents or trustees to receive such tax, and
Section of said Act provides that he must
make return to the Tax Collector OF the
number of certificates SO issued, and pay
the 10 cents for each certificate to him.
None of this money has ever been paid in,
and D. e. Alexander and Isaac Joseph, at
torneys of this city. have been employed
to force the payment of the money to the
county. They nave sent out to the various
corporations q notice, calling their atten-
ton to the law and demanding that they
settle with the county. The law makes it
misdemeanor on the part Of the Secretary
to fail to report, and, as no reports have
ever been made, the Secretary OF each cor
poration doing business in this county is in
default but the attorneys thought it but
fair to call attention to the law before in
yoking its penalties. Section provides a
penalty of 500 for each certificate not re-
turned under oath, which sum is recover
able from the corporation; and for a false
oath, the Secretary is punishable for per-
jury. The law is very stringent, and the
attorneys say they intend to enforce it to
the letter. In San Francisco a special col
lectOr is appointed, who collects this tax,
and the corporations have paid it ever since
the law took effect. This law can be found
on page 955 of the statutes of 1878.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Frank Rhoads, Interesting Suit.


The publication of the complaint OF
Frank Rhoads, of this city, in which he
sues William Carr for money said to have
been advanced by him on Cars account to
Assemblymen franklin, Deveney and
Buhlert, has made quite stir. The Posi-
says that Peter DeYeney. the suaye and
gentle clerk of the San Francisco Justices
Courts. says that Mr.. Rhoads must be mis-
taken about him, because he is sure he did
not receive any money from Rhoads or any
one else during his term as legislator. ex-
cept his regular pay from the State He IS
much panied at the mention of his name
in connection with the matter, and declares
that the aecuser will be put TO the proof
"If Mr.. Rhoads or any one else has any
notes, tags or acceptances signed by me, -
said Mr.. Deveney haughtily, they will be
paid on demand"
Mr. Buhlert wants to be investigated, and
says that he did not get any money from
Rhoads, and Mr.. Franklin says that he did
not receive any money from Mr.. Rhoads on
account of William Carr.
William Carr is reported to have said
that he knows nothing of the matter, and
that no demand has been made upon him
for any moneys expended in any such way
1t is also reported that he has said that if
any one wants any amusement with him
he will be glad to help out the circus.
All the same, Rhoads insists that the
money was advanced as set forth in his
complaint, and that the fact is susceptible
of proof. 1t was scarcely to be expected
that the legislators to whom the money is.
alleged to have been paid would be willing
to acknowledge it if they could avoid do
ing so

Last Nights Concert.

The Trebelli- Musin-Steindorf concert at
the Opera House last night drew a fine
audience-one cultured, of good musical
Judgment, and critical. A more enthu-
siastic audience has not been gathered for
any concert here. The applause was some
thing that even surprised the artists, and
they so expressed themselves. Nine. Ire
belli deserves all the warm commentator
tina. had preceded her from San Francisco.
she has a magnificent contralto, robust and
vigorous, and yet as delicate as the faintest
tones of the flute. She is intensely dra-
matte musicilly, and has her voice under
such sp endid control as to make her vo-
calization appear wholly effortless.
She was recalled over and over
again, until the new numbers aggre-
gated more than those on the programme.
By special request she sang one IN English.
Musln is a violinist of rare ability and ex-
quisite finish in his style. There was feel
ing, elegance, delicacy, Yigor, all requisites
| indeed in his playing that the most exact
| ing taste could demand Steindorff, as a
pianist, won full share of the general APP
proval. His style is sympathetic, rather
than strong, yet does not lack in vital en-
ergy. As an accompanist, we have had no
one with finer taste. Both he and Musin
were compelled to double their numbers.

these features, which will give some idea

saved by a slIk Lac.

A runaway occurred yesterday afternoon
that came near terminating seriously.
John Abbott, of New York, was driving in
the neighborhood of Thirtieth and ] streets,
when, in turning corner, where the road
was very uneven, he was suddenly thrown
from the buggy and sustained u very severe
shock. He was picked up in an uncon-
scious condition, but came too shortly after
wards, apparently not much the worse.
But for the silk hat which the gentleman
was wearing at the time the accident might
have been much more serious, as he fell on
his head, and the shining tile was
crushed o2t of all semblance to its original
self The horse took fright Immediately
or feeling itself released from restraint,
and a general smash up resulted before it
wa finally captured, Mr.. Abbott foots his
total loss up TO nearly $50, in addition to
Sthe shock to KS system, which he viii no
dotIhs feel for some time.

Grand Larceny.

A young colored man named ]. Reid
swore out warrants yesterday for the arrest
of Jesse Slaughter, Jr., and w. Sampson,
both colored, for grand larceny, in swim
ding him out of about 500. He came to
the city week ago from Texas, and fell
in with Sampson, who undertook to get
him a situation They went around to-
gether considerably, aud last Thursday, in
a saloon, Sampson persuaded him to try a
game of poker, Slaughter also participating,
and the result was that the latter soon won
all the money Reid had. Sampson subse-
quently gave Reid S. and note to G. Gran
ton, at San Francisco, assuring him that
Cranton would hire him. Reid went to the
Bay but could not find Cranton, and re-
turning to Sacramento, concluded that he
had been robbed, and invoked the aid OF
the law for the punishment of th1se who
got his money, Slaughter was arrested
yesterday by officer Ferral and gave bonds.
He claims that Reid lost his money fairly.
Sampson has not yet been found.
